Mine was the brake switch. Really inexpensive to replace, but for me at least a real bit ch to replace.

I just bought a 01 and the brake lights will only flicker once in a while, most always nothing happens. The prior owner said maybe a dirty brake switch, any kind of P/N for the switch and where to look under the dash?

When I had intermittent rear light issues, I pulled both light bars out and adjusted the angle of the contacts. All of mine were dodgy. Once you pull one out, you should see what I mean. All good since.

Had that same challenge.

Intermittent likewise. Adjusted likewise. Remained dodgy. I got tired of the intermittency... and purchased from our sponsor a new bar.

Old one looked great... but I tired of trying to correct the anamoly (I didn't have the patience then now I have). Still have the old bar. For sale.
